Got an anthology of 'Poets of Our Time' (Betjeman, RS Thoman etc.) for £1, an old edition of some of Shakespeares historical plays for £1 and an amazing book from the 1950's called 'Years of Grace', which has essays for young women on things like 'Care of the Skin and Hair' by Elizabeth Arden, 'Parties' by Elizabeth Cadell, 'The Princess Margaret' by Noel Streatfield, 'Sketching' by Cora Gordon, 'Ballet as a Career' by Arnold Haskell, and 'Shop-keeping' by Joan Woollcombe.
